Trimble County High School’s track and field athletes are again hard at work this spring, making the best of the same handicap that has plagued all previous Raider track teams before them—the lack of a track facility on which to practice or host competitions.

Nevertheless, “we have had a great start to the season,” first year Head Coach David Apel said. Apel succeeds longtime track mentor Jeff Vincent who was dismissed by the Trimble school system in January.

Trimble County Head Baseball Coach Frank Ragland is hoping to improve on the accomplishments of last year’s Raider team that compiled a 12-13 record. Ragland lost three members of that team—Cameron Adamski, Jimmy Duncan and Luke Sands—to graduation.

Despite bright spots, which included taking runnerup spots in the 8th Region All A Classic and the North Central Kentucky Conference tournament, the Raiders came up short in the first round of the District post-season tournament.

Trimble County High School’s boys and girls tennis teams lost four matches in the past two weeks, against teams from Shelby County High School, Frankfort High School, North Oldham County High School, and Western Hills High School.

According to boys coach Leslie Cutshaw, however, “the final match scores don’t entirely reflect the performance of the players throughout the games.”
